Monument record TQ 77 NW 1314 - The earthwork remains of a small sub-circular mound with a diameter of c.6m, probably an example of a 19th century or earlier stock refuge mound

The earthwork remains of a small sub-circular mound with a diameter of c.6m seen at TQ 7485 7752. This mound is probably an example of a 19th century or earlier stock refuge mound constructed on low-lying pasture within the marshlands of the Hoo Peninsula and the margins of the Thames Estuary. These mounds have been referred to and identified in contemporary writings (Spurrell, 1885). This was mapped from 1953 RAF aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project. (1-2)
